On May 5, 2019, I will be participating in the Packard Center's Fiesta 5K in honor my friend Andy Nelson who passed away in 2017 from this dreadful disease. I will be joined again by a team of his friends and family making up 'Team Nelly'. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins.

The Packard Center for ALS Research at Johns Hopkins is a non-profit organization devoted solely to finding treatments and a cure for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. It's a unique organization on the cutting edge of ALS research and a worthy charity. The Packard Center is supported entirely by philanthropy, and needs our help. Currently there is no cure…help us give hope!

I hope you will consider supporting me, and the important work of the Packard Center, by making a contribution.Your gift is tax-deductible and every dollar makes a difference! Please donate what you can by selecting the "Suppot" button on this page. Any amount, great or small, helps in the fight against ALS. I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.
